Constructive Feedback From LPL Financial Employees

  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    Reps are always complaining. Nothing you do is appreciated but if something is wrong because of their fault, they tear your limbs off.
  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
    If management would listen to ideas and ways to streamline efficiency. Management only believes they are smart. Most are there because they slept with the right person.
